The Pandemonium Witches: Murders, Mystery, and Mayhem

The Pandemonium team is back, discussing the horrific crimes committed by serial killers David Birnie and Catherine Birnie, known as the Moorhouse Murderers. In the mid-1980s, the couple lured young women back to their home on Moorhouse Street in Perth, where their victims were assaulted and murdered. For months, their crimes went unnoticed until one victim managed to escape and tell police what had happened inside the house. This episode walks through the timeline of the murders, the survivor whose courage exposed the truth, and the investigation that finally brought the killings to an end. The crimes committed inside that house shocked Australia and remain one of the country’s most disturbing serial killer cases. Links We Used:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_and_Catherine_Birniehttps://tv.apple.com/us/episode/the-moorhouse-horrorsthe-call-girl-killing/umc.cmc.4mjks9lm0xundpf4ui93h6dcx?showId=umc.cmc.59hhekmkn5g2tckmjuyk0i3clhttps://tubitv.com/tv-shows/540525/s01-e06-the-moorhouse-horrors-the-call-girl-killinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue9-wwQBkH0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJ7Tm6FH84Qhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/5Sk5S5K1hlY4C9W2bSiKRfhttps://www.truecrimepodcast.com/s6-ep276-the-devils-luck-the-moorhouse-murders-survivor/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JavhWDt6onkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noX2TQyL5NIhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/169083348/susannah-candyhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/169398614/noelene_gladys-pattersonhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/169137238/mary_frances_margaret-neilsonhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/169081955/denise_keren-brownhttps://articles.listnr.com/crime/the-women-who-caught-the-moorhouse-murderers/https://www.inhumanpodcast.com/episodes/november-patreon-the-moorhouse-murdershttps://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimeDiscussion/comments/103t61j/over_the_span_of_5_weeks_david_catherine_birnie/https://www.serialkillercalendar.com/David%20John%20BIRNIE.phphttps://www.facebook.com/danellehallan/videos/twisted-couple-did-the-unthinkable-to-their-victims/1218798706773557/https://medium.com/@chelsealynnqueen94/the-moorhouse-murders-the-crimes-of-david-and-catherine-birnie-0d974a6a0c86http://web.diecezja.wloclawek.pl/parafia/brzeznokk/aktualnosci/images/file/jm2gdr5/page.php?id=david-and-catherine-birnie-victims-photoshttps://www.realestate.com.au/news/house-with-murderous-past-listed-in-perth/https://cattstruecrimecorner.com/the-moorhouse-murders/https://www.facebook.com/truecrimeallthetime/posts/were-discussing-the-sadistic-australian-serial-killer-couple-david-and-catherine/799142300275535/https://the-line-up.com/moorhouse-murdershttps://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimeDiscussion/comments/103t61j/over_the_span_of_5_weeks_david_catherine_birnie/https://www.reddit.com/r/CreepyWikipedia/comments/u3rld5/david_and_catherine_birnie_an_australian_couple/https://www.reddit.com/r/serialkillers/comments/16ac17s/david_and_catherine_birnie_moorhouse_murders/https://www.news.com.au/national/crime/david-and-catherine-birnie-the-macabre-and-sadistic-moorhouse-murderers/news-story/d1937accb6dfdbb6cc89074e7eb7c241http://moorhousemurder.weebly.com/https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/national/moorhouse-street-home-of-serial-killers-david-and-catherine-birnie-for-sale/news-story/2b01d69a651fe6f4242ba24d232caddahttps://muggaccinos.com/Punishment/Prisoners/30th_31st_Murderers.htmhttps://skdb.fandom.com/wiki/Moorhouse_murdershttps://betternightsbetterdays.ca/sites/LCpA/david-and-catherine-birnie-victims-photos

The Pandemonium team is back, unpacking a case that feels less like a crime and more like a devastating unraveling. In 1985, 14-year-old Carmen Gayheart left her home in Florida after an argument with her mother *- never knowing it would be the last time she’d be seen alive. What followed was a chilling chain of events involving manipulation, violence, and a group of teenagers whose actions would shock the nation. This episode walks through Carmen’s final days, the people she trusted, and the brutal truth of what really happened after she disappeared. As the investigation unfolded, a disturbing picture emerged - one of peer pressure, cruelty, and a complete disregard for human life. The case of Carmen Gayheart is a haunting reminder of how quickly things can spiral, and how some of the darkest crimes come not from strangers, but from those closest within reach.Links We Used:https://wfsu.org/gavel2gavel/transcript/pdfs/02-1426_02-2409.pdfhttps://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/23/23-6737/300335/20240210103526057_2024-02-10%20USSC%20Cert%20Appendix_Final.pdfhttps://www.facebook.com/Justice4CarmenGayheart/https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Carmen_Gayhearthttps://www.wuft.org/public-safety/2025-06-11/florida-executes-man-convicted-of-raping-and-killing-a-woman-3-decades-agohttps://www.ksat.com/news/national/2025/06/10/florida-set-to-execute-man-convicted-of-raping-and-killing-a-woman-3-decades-ago/https://www.wpbf.com/article/florida-palm-beach-woman-witnesses-execution-carmen-gayheart-killer/65015254https://wusf.org/text/courts-law/2025-05-12/florida-death-warrant-signed-1994-rape-murder-hamilton-countyhttps://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2025/06/11/legal-chapter-closed-for-family-of-1994-murder-victim-after-killers-execution/https://www.news4jax.com/news/national/2025/06/10/florida-set-to-execute-man-convicted-of-raping-and-killing-a-woman-3-decades-ago/https://www.news4jax.com/news/national/2025/05/13/2-more-executions-set-in-florida-making-it-6-so-far-in-2025/https://law.justia.com/cases/florida/supreme-court/1997/86021-0.html https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/7286371/carmen_gabriella-gayheart

It’s that time again - it’s Serotonin Saturday. This week we’re taking a trip to the California coast to explore the incredible history of Hearst Castle. Perched high above the Pacific Ocean, this sprawling estate began as a dream of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, who wanted to transform his family’s ranch into a lavish retreat unlike anything else in the United States. Working alongside groundbreaking architect Julia Morgan, the project evolved into a massive hilltop estate filled with European art, grand architecture, and over-the-top luxury. But Hearst Castle was more than just an extravagant home - it became a playground for Hollywood stars, politicians, and some of the most powerful people of the early 20th century. From opulent guest houses and priceless antiques to famous pools and even a private zoo, the estate grew into something almost mythic in scale. In this episode, we’re diving into the history behind the castle - how it was built, the vision that shaped it, and how this private retreat eventually became one of California’s most famous historic landmarks. It’s a story of ambition, artistry, and one man’s dream to build a castle on the California coast.Links We Used can be found on our website!

The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Cat and Rachel discuss the murder of Robin Lawrence, a suburban mother whose life ended in a crime that shocked her quiet community. What initially appeared to be a tragic death inside her own home quickly turned into a complicated investigation filled with conflicting stories, troubling evidence, and questions about what really happened behind closed doors. This episode walks through the timeline of Robin’s final days, the investigation that followed, and the details that left many people searching for answers. Robin was more than the circumstances surrounding her death. This episode is about her story, the truth investigators uncovered, and why her case continues to stand out years later. Links We Used:https://open.spotify.com/episode/4rgitsOYYpPDvJxC5Zs8sShttps://open.spotify.com/episode/1DsWyRkPQlOL5fFBzoU4xGhttps://podcasts.apple.com/bt/podcast/308-catching-the-boogeyman-the-murder-of-robin-lawrence/id1508098400?i=1000749900899https://music.amazon.com/es-co/podcasts/3596f44a-c77f-4d1a-85f3-f1a953acbe95/episodes/23fba794-3c4e-4236-aaeb-5d2fb09096bc/crime-clueless-cold-case-cracked-the-murder-of-robin-lawrencehttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/robin-lawrence-killed-by-a-stranger-while-her-baby/id1831660402?i=1000733597028https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpMvWXMasTIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqTz4iKJG6ghttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/stephen-smerk-new-york-robin-warr-lawrence-murder-virginia-cold-case-48-hours/https://www.instagram.com/p/DU1PHbjibDW/https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUtpZ6nCPh5/https://www.primetimer.com/features/5-horrific-details-about-the-murder-of-virginia-mom-robin-lawrencehttps://people.com/robin-lawrence-murdered-took-police-decades-arrest-her-killer-11906659https://www.paramountpressexpress.com/cbs-entertainment/shows/48-hours/releases/?view=111950-a-gifted-artist-is-murdered-in-her-home-decades-later-her-killer-reveals-what-drove-himhttps://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/after-killers-sentencing-30-years-of-unanswered-questions-come-to-end-for-1994-cold-case-victims-family/3862175/https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/commonwealthattorney/stephan-smerk-guilty-killing-robin-lawrence-1994-cold-casehttps://cbs6albany.com/news/local/niskayuna-man-sentenced-to-70-years-for-1994-virginia-murder-featured-on-cbss-48-hours-robin-lawerence-stephan-smerkhttps://www.cbsnews.com/video/closing-the-cold-case-of-robin-lawrence/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/robin-warr-lawrence-virginia-murder-dna-stephan-smerk-48-hours/https://wjla.com/news/local/this-man-will-pay-virginia-family-finds-closure-after-murderer-is-sentenced-to-life-cold-case-murder-guilty-conviction-killer-found-crime-dmv-investigation-forensics-fairfax-burke-case-robin-lawrence-death-stabbing-family-smerkhttps://augustafreepress.com/news/the-boogeyman-chilling-confession-brings-end-to-northern-virginia-murder-case/https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/niskayuna-man-receives-70-years-murder-20210471.phphttps://www.wvtm13.com/article/stephen-smerk-confession-1994-cold-case-robin-lawrence-virginia/62518321https://www.tmz.com/2025/10/25/stephan-smerk-30-year-cold-case-murder-dna-arrested/https://www.reddit.com/r/UnsolvedMysteries/comments/16g6q0r/parabon_ids_51_yo_stephen_smerk_as_killer_of_37/

This week, the Pandemonium team discusses the heartbreaking case known for decades as “The Boy in the Box.” In February 1957, the body of a young boy was discovered inside a cardboard box in the woods of Philadelphia. He had no name, no missing persons report, and no one who seemed to be searching for him. For more than 65 years, investigators and amateur sleuths worked to identify the child once called “America’s Unknown Child.” This episode walks through the discovery of the boy, the many theories that followed, and the decades-long effort to finally give him back his name. Because even when the world didn’t know who you were, your story still deserves to be told.Links We Used:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Joseph_Augustus_Zarellihttps://www.cnn.com/2022/12/08/us/philadelphia-boy-in-box-thursday/index.htmlhttps://themchenrymessenger.com/who-was-the-boy-in-the-box/https://www.investigationdiscovery.com/crimefeed/news/the-boy-in-the-box-finally-identified-65-years-after-his-body-was-discoveredhttps://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/the-boy-in-the-box-joseph-augustus-zarelli/https://www.pennlive.com/news/2023/01/new-details-emerge-in-phillys-boy-in-the-box-mystery.htmlhttps://6abc.com/the-boy-in-box-philadelphia-joseph-augustus-zarelli-birthday/14320809/https://allthatsinteresting.com/boy-in-the-boxhttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/box-in-the-box-child-murder-victim-identified-joseph-augustus-zarelli-police-philadelphia/https://discover.hubpages.com/politics/Who-is-the-Boy-In-the-Box-Who-is-Americas-Unknown-Childhttps://news.sky.com/story/mysterious-boy-in-the-box-cold-case-murder-gets-vital-clue-and-restores-childs-dignity-12764434https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11658871/Parents-Phillys-boy-box-revealed-property-developer-beautiful-woman.htmlhttps://www.aetv.com/articles/how-authorities-identified-the-boy-in-the-box-after-65-yearshttps://www.reddit.com/r/boyinthebox/comments/zki2wy/important_facts_and_timeline/

This week, Pandemonium covers the devastating case of Rebecca Park, known as Becca - a 22-year-old mother of two who was 38 weeks pregnant and reportedly in early labor when she was dismissed from the hospital, only to disappear after being last seen getting into a dark vehicle on November 3, 2025. What began as a missing persons search led friends, volunteers, and search teams through Boon Township before ending in tragedy when Becca’s body was discovered on November 25 in the Manistee National Forest, her newborn baby still missing. As investigators dug deeper, the case revealed a chilling web of family betrayal, conflicting timelines, and multiple arrests tied to what prosecutors allege was a brutal attack. Authorities claim Becca was tortured and that her baby was forcibly removed - leaving one of the most haunting questions unresolved. We walk through Becca’s life, the timeline of her disappearance, and the ongoing fight for justice for both mother and son.Links We Used:https://www.wowt.com/2025/12/04/evil-mom-stepfather-charged-with-murder-death-pregnant-woman-her-unborn-child/https://www.facebook.com/detroitfreepress/posts/here-is-everything-we-know-about-the-death-of-pregnant-22-year-old-wexford-count/1300613592110790/https://www.michigan.gov/ag/news/press-releases/2025/12/02/two-charged-with-murder-of-rebecca-parkhttps://www.playlsi.com/en/commercial-playground-equipment/playgrounds/lake-rebecca-park-reserve/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n980yEFTodwhttps://upnorthlive.com/topic/Rebecca%20Parkhttps://www.reddit.com/r/MissingPersons/comments/1oup87o/missing_rebecca_becca_kay_park_michigan_39_weeks/https://www.reddit.com/r/MissingPersons/comments/1oup87o/missing_rebecca_becca_kay_park_michigan_39_weeks/https://www.9and10news.com/2026/02/13/preliminary-hearing-on-march-6-for-suspects-in-rebecca-park-murder-case/https://unsealedevidence.com/case.php?slug=rebecca-park&fbclid=IwY2xjawQhVi1leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFXMWxhb1A3WVlVNkkyeGttc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHgsg1EMqojb7wwFOx6Y9q-RnUISH7fk1gTofAgVp4sopR7QUYrZKeE29-UIQ_aem_xwQXw-JQnZoHM8eC03ltpQ

This week, the Pandemonium team heads to Victorian England for one of history’s most shocking mass poisoning events - the Bradford sweets poisoning. In Bradford in 1858, what should have been a simple batch of peppermint lozenges turned into a deadly mistake when arsenic was accidentally used instead of sugar substitute, leaving more than 200 people sick and at least 20 dead. We dig into how a cost-cutting shortcut, a breakdown in oversight, and a chain of small decisions created a public health disaster that changed food safety laws forever. From confectioner Joseph Neal to supplier James Archer, and the tragic story of victim William Hardaker, this case shows how ordinary life can turn catastrophic in an instant. It’s a story about industrialization, accountability, and the moment society realized that what we consume needs regulation - because sometimes the scariest crimes aren’t intentional at all. Links We Used:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1858_Bradford_sweets_poisoninghttps://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofBritain/Dying-for-Humbug-the-Bradford-Sweets-Poisoning-1858/https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leeds-67067171https://www.amusingplanet.com/2022/09/the-bradford-sweets-poisoning-of-1858.htmlhttps://www.reddit.com/r/RandomVictorianStuff/comments/1kv8fkn/the_bradford_sweets_poisoning_of_1858_20_died_and/https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladviceofftopic/comments/1ndnwr6/why_were_the_bradford_sweet_poisoning_deaths/https://www.jstor.org/stable/community.24793263https://www.bionity.com/en/encyclopedia/Bradford_sweets_poisoning.htmlhttps://engole.info/1858-bradford-sweets-poisoning/https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/poisoned-candyhttps://www.bankofengland.co.uk/education/education-resources/shillings-to-pounds-converterhttps://www.nottingham.ac.uk/manuscriptsandspecialcollections/researchguidance/weightsandmeasures/money.aspxhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTAxPEZZwXQhttps://www.facebook.com/thetudorintruders/posts/in-1858-over-200-people-were-poisoned-by-arsenic-laced-sweets-20-of-them-fatally/1299098851859865/https://oddlyhistorical.wordpress.com/2015/05/10/1858-bradford-sweets-poisoning/http://medbox.iiab.me/kiwix/wikipedia_en_medicine_2019-12/A/1858_Bradford_sweets_poisoninghttps://www.morticianinthekitchen.com/recipe-blog/1858-the-bradford-humbug-poisoninghttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/291710290_Arsenic_and_the_Bradford_poisonings_of_1858https://www.mycityhunt.com/cities/bradford-gb-10527/poi/1858-bradford-sweets-poisoning-25295https://www.mentalfloss.com/food/candy/bradford-candy-poisoninghttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rewind-the-1858-bradford-sweets-poisoning-who-is-to-blame/id1468678544?i=1000678257635https://www.thevintagenews.com/2017/04/17/bradford-sweets-poisoning-the-accidental-arsenic-poisoning-of-more-than-200-people-in-bradford/https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Bradford_Sweets_Poisoning_Disaster

In this second installment of Serotonin Saturday, Cat and Rachel are talking about the people who show up every single day and quietly hold the world together - teachers. We start with special education teacher Kati Jo Christensen in Weber County, who went viral for dancing on TikTok to erase student lunch debt - turning a small $4,000 goal into support for multiple schools and recognition from the West Haven City Council. Then we expand to stories like a teacher in Cleveland securing donated washers and dryers from Lowe’s, alongside nationwide efforts through DonorsChoose, programs from Whirlpool, and care closet initiatives like Kids Kloset in Harbor Beach. This episode is highlighting how teachers quietly step in to meet students’ basic needs so they can show up, learn, and feel seen. The world feels heavy. But these stories - the quiet, everyday acts of care - remind us that compassion is still everywhere. Sometimes it looks like a viral dance. Sometimes it looks like a washer and dryer in a school hallway. And sometimes it looks like a teacher making sure a kid can walk into class with dignity.

The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Cat and Rachel take on one of the most infamous names in true crime - Ted Bundy, who we’ve lovingly renamed Sparkle T*ts because - absolutely not. From his carefully crafted charm to the trail of violence he left across multiple states, this episode breaks down how Bundy manipulated victims, media, and the justice system while hiding in plain sight.We focus on the facts, the failures that allowed him to keep killing, and the women whose lives were taken - because they deserve to be remembered far more than he does.

The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Rachel and Cat head to 1930s Italy to examine the case of Leonarda Cianciulli, a woman whose fear, superstition, and desperation spiraled into calculated murder. Known as the “Soap-Maker of Correggio,” Leonarda claimed she was trying to protect her son from a prophetic curse when she lured women into her home and killed them. What followed was a chilling blend of ritual, manipulation, and a community that trusted her completely. This episode walks through Leonarda’s troubled past, the cultural climate of Fascist-era Italy, the disappearances that raised suspicion, and the trial that stunned the country.Beyond the grotesque headlines, we examine how belief, control, and fear became deadly - and remember the women whose lives were taken.Links We Used:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonarda_Cianciullihttps://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonarda_Cianciullihttps://medium.com/@rocknrollgeek1975/mother-dearest-the-crimes-of-leonarda-cianciulli-the-soap-maker-of-correggio-bc58c0567410https://allthatsinteresting.com/leonarda-cianciullihttps://ttkmeup.com/blog/2020/5/8/everything-you-know-about-leonarda-cianciulli-is-wronghttp://www.scenacriminis.com/scienze-forensi/memoriale-di-leonarda-cianciulli/http://www.ilmamilio.it/m/it/rubriche/criminologia/11416-leonarda-cianciulli-la-serial-killer-di-correggio.htmlhttps://www.museocriminologico.it/index.php/2-non-categorizzato/120-omicidi-caso-cianciulli2https://www.letturefantastiche.com/la_saponificatrice_di_correggio.htmlhttps://www.focus.it/cultura/storia/545745165-il-caso-cianciuli-32653https://web.archive.org/web/20061114074138/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0%2C9171%2C852845%2C00.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20060912155116/http://www.museocriminologico.it/correggio_uk.htmhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/leonarda-cianciulli-the-soap-maker-of-correggio/id1573961841?i=1000701592990https://open.spotify.com/episode/48ElOohzBOOvxjkbp9ggTlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jENKT7mLuc4https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1326961/https://www.aafs.org/sites/default/files/media/documents/AAFS-2018-I18.pdfhttps://www.facebook.com/baileysarian1/posts/the-story-of-italys-leonarda-cianciulli/1425460645616570/https://www.amazon.com/Deadly-Soap-Maker-Correggio-Cianciulli-Superstitious/dp/B09ZCJLCP8https://app.smore.com/n/rfb2y-leonarda-cianciullihttps://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/8vmpoe/the_soapmaker_of_correggio_leonarda_cianciulli/https://www.facebook.com/buzzfeedunsolved/posts/leonarda-cianciulli-didnt-just-clean-up-her-crimes-she-turned-them-into-soap-the/1154785160099510/https://medium.com/lessons-from-history/the-serial-killer-who-made-soaps-and-cakes-out-of-the-people-she-killed-e80a5e713b4f

S2.E8 - When Trust Turns Deadly: The Lisa Knoefel CaseThe Pandemonium team is back, and this week Cat and Rachel examine the case of Lisa Knoefel, a mother whose life was taken in a calculated act that unfolded inside her own home. What initially appeared to be a brutal attack soon revealed a disturbing conspiracy involving manipulation, control, and betrayal. As investigators dug deeper, the relationships at the center of the case exposed a dynamic far more complex than it first seemed. This episode walks through Lisa’s background, the night of the attack, the shocking courtroom testimony that followed, and the lasting impact on her family - especially the children caught in the aftermath. Above all, we focus on Lisa as a person, not just a case, and the justice process that followed her death.Links We Used:https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/9efc6946-2b36-48c5-89f9-d33916762734/episodes/caa09fc9-239d-4331-9b2c-78fc230de203/cast-aghast-a-true-crime-podcast-the-murder-of-lisa-knoefelhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sabrina-zunich/id1448925202?i=1000628197920https://www.investigationdiscovery.com/crimefeed/murder/woman-fatally-stabbed-by-teenage-foster-daughter-who-was-having-affair-with-her-husbandhttps://www.cleveland.com/topic/kevin-knoefel-murder-trial/https://www.cleveland19.com/story/23093723/husband-of-murdered-social-worker-is-arrestedhttps://www.cleveland19.com/story/26209719/love-triangle-trial-husband-sentenced-to-life-in-prison-for-having-mistress-murder-wife/https://www.ksl.com/article/31755272/teenager-gets-life-in-foster-moms-stabbing-deathhttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/daughter-gets-life-in-foster-moms-stabbing-death/https://medium.com/%40coffeecrimeandcosmetics/betrayed-from-within-how-did-lisa-knoefels-fostering-of-a-teen-girl-end-in-murder-4057d5b7959ehttps://www.oxygen.com/snapped-behind-bars/crime-news/snapped-behind-bars-what-to-know-about-sabrina-zunich-casehttps://case-law.vlex.com/vid/state-v-knoefel-case-887479305https://cases.justia.com/ohio/eleventh-district-court-of-appeals/2015-2014-l-088.pdf?ts=1450131643https://www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/pdf_viewer/pdf_viewer.aspx?pdf=866365.pdf&source=DL_Clerk&subdirectory=2019-0549%5CDocketItemshttps://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USCOURTS-ohnd-1_20-cv-01529/pdf/USCOURTS-ohnd-1_20-cv-01529-0.pdfhttps://www.scribd.com/doc/183629351/Lisa-Knoefel-wrongful-death-lawsuithttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10768597/Daughter-murdered-Lisa-Knoefel-describes-desperate-attempt-save-mother.html

The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Rachel and Cat examine one of the most infamous unsolved murders in American history: the killing of Elizabeth Short, known to the press as the Black Dahlia. In 1947, Elizabeth’s body was discovered in Los Angeles in a crime so brutal it captured national headlines and fueled decades of speculation. But behind the sensational nickname was a 22-year-old woman with plans, friends, and a life that deserved more than myth-making. This episode walks through the timeline of her disappearance, the discovery that shocked the country, the investigation that followed, and the theories that continue to circulate. Most importantly, we focus on Elizabeth - not the legend built around her, but the person at the center of it all.

The Pandemonium team is switching gears this week for our first installment of Serotonin Saturday, as Cat and Rachel round up some of the most hopeful, fascinating, and downright delightful stories you may have missed in 2025. From California’s historic ban on cat declawing and new rules on ultra-processed school lunches, to goats preventing wildfires in Spain and breakthroughs in treating Huntington’s disease. This episode is packed with wins for animals, people, and the planet all around. We also celebrate a posthumous degree for Māori scholar, the booming secondhand clothing market, the world’s tiniest injectable pacemaker, along research showing that the smell of pizza can actually lower stress.

Addendum: Amy Jo’s fiancee was Jerimah. Her ex husband was Chris. Cat had the names scrambled and she was mortified to learn of this error! The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Cat and Rachel are joined by Pam Nelson and Abbie Nelson Vann to honor the life and legacy of Amy Jo Nelson. This episode steps away from speculation and into remembrance. Pam and Abbie share who Amy Jo truly was, the unanswered questions surrounding her death, and the investigation her family continues to pursue in the search for justice. Through their voices, Amy Jo is remembered not as a headline, but as a daughter, a sister, and someone deeply loved. This is a conversation rooted in truth, advocacy, and keeping Amy Jo’s name alive.Links We Used: ​https://culpablepodcast.com/episode/amy-jo-nelson/​https://www.catchmykiller.com/episode-114-amy-jo-nelson/ ​https://www.yahoo.com/news/unsolved-ohio-killed-amy-jo-093000675.html ​https://www.nbc4i.com/news/unsolved-ohio/unsolved-ohio-who-killed-amy-jo-nelson-family-wants-answers-in-2017-homicide/​https://www.10tv.com/article/news/local/amy-jo-nelsons-family-on-unsolved-murder/530-b88728f7-a4db-4063-87dc-35c86f79daa5 ​https://www.zanesvilletimesrecorder.com/story/news/2021/02/13/perry-county-family-fighting-loved-one-victims-abuse/6735274002/​https://www.nbc4i.com/news/unsolved-ohio/unsolved-ohio-who-killed-amy-jo-nelson-family-wants-answers-in-2017-homicide/ ​https://www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/Law-Enforcement/Local-Law-Enforcement/Poster.aspx?printpath=/Files/Law-Enforcement/Investigator/Cold-Case/Homicides/Nelson-3&classname=Custom.ColdCaseDatabase ​https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/zanesvilletimesrecorder/name/amy-nelson-smith-obituary?id=12591712​https://www.logandaily.com/obituaries/amy-jo-nelson-smith/article_aa3c10a2-817b-528d-9aa6-da1e84b1d2df.html​https://youtu.be/AX3y_fUFMrQ?si=XilGn5rIjQNFuMjW ​https://youtu.be/_sYUhzS20dg?si=kntAvIcJygT3a2xO​https://youtu.be/q3aNGEhsSeA?si=dLEKMUY5B8veyJIm​https://youtu.be/ffO1fLyaIgE?si=neE3dwP3Q1i7di1F​⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4UjHGgY_zo ⁠​⁠https://youtu.be/Y4UjHGgY_zo?si=vcY1LsgjF35npeDQ⁠​https://m.imdb.com/title/tt34953043/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_ov_rdat ​https://www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/Law-Enforcement/Local-Law-Enforcement/Poster.aspx?printpath=/Files/Law-Enforcement/Investigator/Cold-Case/Homicides/Nelson-3&classname=Custom.ColdCaseDatabase​https://websleuths.com/threads/oh-amy-jo-nelson-39-new-straitsville-18-sept-2017-homicide.540939/

The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Rachel and Cat examine the case of Anna Marie Hahn, one of the first women in the United States to be executed in the electric chair - and yes, once again we’re asking: WHY is it always arsenic? In the 1930s, Hahn was accused of poisoning elderly men in Ohio, earning headlines that painted her as manipulative and calculating. Her case marked the eighth time we’ve covered arsenic on this show - bringing our running total to 8 cases and 63 victims linked to this particular poison. This episode walks through the accusations, the trial, and the controversy that still surrounds her conviction. Anna Marie Hahn was more than a headline. We break down what happened, how it happened, and why arsenic keeps showing up in the darkest corners of history.Links We Used:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Marie_Hahnhttps://www.wosu.org/news/2006-09-18/ohios-hahn-just-an-evil-personhttps://www.historicalcrimedetective.com/female-serial-killer-anna-marie-hahn-1906-1938/HistoricalCrimeDetective.comhttps://www.dispatch.com/story/news/2009/12/08/anna-marie-hahn-blonde-poison/23952839007/https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/anna-marie-hahn-robert-priseman/FwE471GoZrUIvw?hl=enhttps://murderpedia.org/female.H/h/hahn-anna-marie.htmhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/15812225/anna_mariehttps://web.archive.org/web/20090218041328/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,758318,00.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20090904192244/http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/notorious_murders/women/anna_hahn/index.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20101221045020/http://skcentral.com/articles.php?article_id=281

The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Cat and Rachel step into Chicago, where Prohibition-era power struggles turned a winter morning into one of the most infamous crimes in American history. On February 14, 1929, seven men were gunned down inside a North Side garage in a brazen act of organized crime violence that shocked the nation. Often linked to Al Capone’s war with rival gangs, the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre remains a symbol of unchecked corruption, criminal empires, and justice that never fully arrived.

The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Rachel and Cat travel deep into the jungles of Guyana, where a secluded religious community became the site of one of the deadliest mass unalivings in modern history. On November 18, 1978, more than 900 members of the Peoples Temple died after cult leader Jim Jones ordered a coordinated act of mass death that stunned the world.What began as a utopian experiment in faith, equality, and escape from oppression collapsed into paranoia, control, and unimaginable tragedy.Join us as we break down how Jonestown was built, what led to its horrifying final day, and why its legacy still shapes how we view cults, power, and blind devotion.Links We Used:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peoples_Templehttps://www.britannica.com/topic/Peoples-Templehttps://www.uua.org/re/tapestry/youth/bridges/workshop20/184275.shtmlhttps://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/jonestown-guyana/https://www.fbi.gov/history/famous-cases/jonestownhttps://www.rollingstone.com/feature/jonestown-13-things-you-should-know-about-cult-massacre-121974/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Joneshttps://www.britannica.com/event/Jonestownhttps://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/jonestown-congregation/ https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/en:Congressman_Tom_Lantos%27_Remarks_on_the_25th_Anniversary_of_the_Tragedy_at_Jonestown_and_the_Death_of_Congressman_Leo_Ryanhttps://jonestown.sdsu.edu/?post_type=who_diedhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-46241372http://jonestown.sdsu.edu/https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/jonestownhttps://archive.org/details/ptc1978-11-18.flac16https://web.archive.org/web/20071114005753/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,912249,00.htmlhttps://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1509317http://www.jonestownlegacy.com/https://web.archive.org/web/19990428190751/http://www.icehouse.net/zodiac/https://web.archive.org/web/20110309152611/http://freedomofmind.com/resourcecenter/groups/p/peoplestemple/jonestown_doc_1/http://kdrt.org/audio/davisville-8414-listening-survivor-and-story-jonestown/https://archive.org/details/Jonestown-FBIhttps://jonestown.sdsu.edu/?page_id=78282https://vimeo.com/373653092https://pastvu.com/p/1933302https://vault.fbi.gov/jonestown/Jonestown%20Part%2003

But beyond the bars and concrete walls lies a chilling legacy of failed escape attempts, ghostly encounters, and tales that refuse to die.From the mystery of the Anglin brothers’ daring disappearance to the whispers of restless spirits in Cell Block D, we dive into the history, the hauntings, and the myths that make Alcatraz one of true crime and paranormal lore’s most enduring icons.Grab your coffee and your flashlight - we’re heading inside the haunted and horrifying history of The Rock.Links We Used - Alcatraz:https://www.nps.gov/alcahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcatraz_Islandhttps://www.history.com/topics/crime/alcatrazhttps://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Alcatraz_Islandhttps://www.parksconservancy.org/parks/alcatrazhttps://www.britannica.com/place/Alcatraz-Islandhttps://www.bop.gov/about/history/alcatraz.jsphttps://www.sftravel.com/things-to-do/attractions/iconic-sf/alcatrazhttps://fox59.com/news/national-world/new-evidence-in-60-year-old-alcatraz-prison-break/https://www.fbi.gov/history/famous-cases/alcatraz-escapehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_1962_Alcatraz_escape_attempthttps://www.cityexperiences.com/blog/anglin-brothers-escape/https://www.history.co.uk/articles/the-story-behind-the-alcatraz-escape-history-s-most-daring-prison-breakhttps://www.unilad.com/news/alcatraz-prison-escape-fbi-letter-john-anglin-715424-20240206https://graylineofsanfrancisco.com/alcatraz-haunted/https://sfghosts.com/the-spirits-of-alcatraz-island/https://medium.com/globetrotters/the-ghosts-of-alcatraz-the-rock-and-my-scary-silly-imaginations-48a4691a1dfehttps://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/yefkzg/why_do_alcatraz_employees_viciously_deny_its/https://thehauntghosttours.com/blog/why-is-alcatraz-prison-in-san-francisco-haunted/https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/climate-researchers-on-alcatraz-island-have-haunting-experience-staying-in-prison-cells/https://alcatraz-experience.com/3-famous-ghosts-that-haunt-alcatraz-island/https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/09/travel/video/alcatraz-island-climate-change-prison-escape-digvidhttps://www.islapedia.com/index.php?title=DUHAUT-CILLY,_Augustehttps://archaeology.org/issues/september-october-2020/letters-from/fort-alcatraz/https://www.nps.gov/alca/index.htmhttps://www.visitcalifornia.com/things-to-do/alcatraz/https://www.history.com/articles/10-things-you-may-not-know-about-alcatrazhttps://www.innsf.com/activity/alcatraz/https://news.uslhs.org/2021/03/15/alcatraz-lighthouse-preservation-project-an-update/https://www.nps.gov/articles/hopi-prisoners-on-the-rock.htm#:~:text=One%20hundred%20years%20ago%2C%20in,means%20of%20intimidation%20and%20punishment.https://history.howstuffworks.com/historical-events/chicago-milk-wars.htm#:~:text=Al%20Capone%20(inset)%20and%20his%20Chicago%20mob,became%20known%20as%20the%20%22Chicago%20milk%20wars.%22https://texoso66.com/2018/03/22/machine-gun-kelly/https://digitalcollections.smu.edu/digital/collection/nam/id/471/https://www.archives.gov/san-francisco/highlights/kellyhttps://www.alcatrazhistory.com/mgk.htmhttps://www.fbi.gov/history/famous-cases/machine-gun-kellyhttps://www.britannica.com/biography/Robert-Stroudhttps://www.facebook.com/AlcatrazIslandHistoryhttps://alcatrazguidedtours.com/blog/growing-up-on-alcatraz-qa-with-a-former-resident/

The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Rachel and Cat dive into the strange and scandalous case of Adelaide Bartlett - at the center of one of Victorian England’s most puzzling trials. When Adelaide’s husband was found dead in 1886 with an alarming amount of chloroform in his stomach, suspicion quickly turned toward the clever and enigmatic wife. Was she a cold-blooded poisoner, an unfairly accused woman, or simply caught in a tangle of love, betrayal, and Victorian double standards? From the courtroom drama that fascinated the public to the enduring mystery of how the chloroform got there, we explore a case that still baffles true crime historians today. Grab your coffee (but maybe skip the mystery additives), and join us as we unravel Adelaide Bartlett’s deadly puzzle.

In this episode, Rachel, Cat, and Em dig into one of the most haunting cold cases in American true crime history: the Keddie murders. In April 1981, a quiet cabin in Keddie, California became the scene of unimaginable violence — a family and their friends brutally attacked, with answers still missing decades later. Despite suspects, theories, and new evidence surfacing over the years, the question remains: who was behind the massacre at Cabin 28? The Pandemonium team unpacks the horror, the heartbreak, and the enduring mystery of the Keddie murders.Links We Used : The Keddie Murders: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keddie_murdershttps://allthatsinteresting.com/keddie-cabin-murdershttps://www.abc10.com/article/news/crime/true-crime/murder-in-cabin-28-keddie-murders-unsolved-california/103-1e3e7671-8c2c-4f4c-abb3-fae3ae07425ehttps://www.mamamia.com.au/keddie-murders/https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/unsolved-mystery-family-tied-up-29225605https://truecrimefilesusa.com/keddie-cabin-murders-unsolved-1981-mystery/https://thecrimewire.com/true-crime/The-Keddie-Murders-Gruesome-Quadruple-Homicide-Still-Unsolved-After-40-Yearshttps://web.archive.org/web/20180415002049/http://www.plumasnews.com/keddie-murders-revisited/https://people.com/crime/people-magazine-investigates-offers-new-clues-on-keddie-cabin-murders-giving-survivor-a-little-more-hope/https://www.suecoletta.com/murder-at-cabin-28/https://cnpa.com/cja2018/print/2018_California_Journalism_Awards___Print_Division/General/03_In-Depth_Reporting_%28WD%29/First_Place_Feather_River_Bulletin_1/Attachment_02.pdfhttps://www.thetruecrimedatabase.com/case_file/the-keddie-murders/https://discover.hubpages.com/politics/The-Keddie-Murders-Gruesome-Quadruple-Homicide-Still-Unsolved-After-40-Yearshttps://www.thoughtco.com/cold-case-the-keddie-cabin-murders-4108811https://www.reddit.com/r/babylonbee/comments/1hs2z07/fbi_asks_x_users_to_please_stop_solving_crimes/https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimeDiscussion/comments/1cl7qng/who_committed_the_keddie_cabin_murders_an/https://www.10minutemurder.com/blog/the-keddie-murders-secrets-suspects-and-missing-pieces/https://www.abc10.com/article/news/crime/true-crime/murder-in-cabin-28-keddie-murders-unsolved-california/103-1e3e7671-8c2c-4f4c-abb3-fae3ae07425ehttps://www.sonypictures.com/movies/cabin28#:~:text=The%20shocking%20true%20story%20based,peaceful%20holiday%20resort%20of%20Keddiehttps://screenrant.com/strangers-movie-true-story-real-crimes-inspiration-explained/#:~:text=The%20second%20inspiration%20for%20The,%2Dlife%20killer(s)https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5457484/#:~:text=Based%20on%20one%20of%20the,isolated%20cabin%20by%20mysterious%20assailantshttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26528016/glenna_susan-sharphttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26528040/dana_hall-wingatehttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26527984/john_steven-sharphttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26527850/tina_louise-sharphttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26528016/glenna_susan-sharp⁠https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/216963744/severin-john-boubede⁠https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/211166106/martin_ray-smartt

The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Rachel and Cat turn their attention to unravelling the nauseating case of another arsenic killer. She was known by many nicknames - the Giggling Granny, the Jolly Black Widow, and even the Lonely Hearts Killer - behind her cheerful nickname lurked one of the deadliest women in true crime history.With arsenic as her weapon of choice, Nannie left behind a string of poisoned husbands, family members, and anyone unlucky enough to stand in her way. She was a woman who turned love, family, and even pie into murder weapons.From her string of poisoned husbands to her shocking confessions, we explore how charm, laughter, and arsenic made her one of America’s most infamous killers - and update our ongoing “Why is it Always Arsenic?” tally, which now stands at 6.Grab your coffee (just maybe not if she made it), and settle in for a darkly fascinating ride.

In this episode, Cat, Rachel, and Em take a somber look at the life and crimes of John Arthur Getreu - a man who lived quietly in the shadows for decades while carrying the weight of horrific murders but not denying a single word.From his early conviction overseas to the cold cases that haunted Stanford University for nearly half a century, we trace how advances in DNA finally brought the truth to light.This is not a story of mystery or myth, but one of long-delayed justice for the women whose lives he stole.

The Pandemonium team is back - and this time, Cat, Rachel, Meg, and Em are headed to 18th-century Russia, where the tea is hot, the winters are cold, and the noblewomen are absolutely monstrous. Meet Darya Nikolayevna Saltykova, better known as The Blood Duchess: a wealthy widow who spent her free time brutally unaliving her serfs and complaining to God about her love life. Was she a sadistic serial unaliver hiding behind holy icons, or just the Russian aristocracy’s answer to “bad vibes only”? The crew digs into the blood-soaked snow of history, decoding Darya’s divine excuses, wildly inefficient murder methods, and extremely unrelatable lifestyle.

In this twisted episode of Pandemonium Witches, Rachel and Cat dive headfirst into the unsettling story of Dana Sue Gray - a seemingly ordinary woman with a deadly obsession. Behind her sun-soaked California smile hid a dark compulsion: murder fueled by greed, addiction, and the thrill of the kill. Join the team as they unravel how this nurse-turned-serial-killer targeted the most vulnerable, feeding her shopping addiction with stolen credit cards and leaving a trail of horror in her wake. Was it impulse, trauma, or pure evil?

Cat and Rachel dive into one of the darkest corners of America's extremist underground - the violent, hate-fueled world of Chevie Kehoe and Daniel Lee.Raised on white supremacist ideology and armed with a terrifying sense of purpose, their paths would lead to robbery, murder, and an alleged connection to the Oklahoma City bombing.This episode unpacks their ties to the Aryan Nations, his twisted interpretation of polygamy and religion, and the horrific crimes committed in the name of his so-called revolution.Strap in - this one’s a heavy descent into radicalization, family betrayal, and the monstrous power of belief gone wrong.Links We Used - Chevie Kehoe & Daniel Lee Lewis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevie_Kehoehttps://www.splcenter.org/resources/reports/trail-death-follows-white-supremacist-gang-led-chevie-kehoe/https://www.atf.gov/our-history/historical-articles/kehoe-brothershttps://www.nytimes.com/1999/12/12/us/how-an-honor-student-became-a-white-warrior.htmlhttps://www.oxygen.com/a-plan-to-kill/crime-news/chevie-kehoe-daniel-lee-murdered-mueller-family-for-gunshttps://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-8th-circuit/1342871.htmlhttps://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2020/jul/15/sentencing-baffles-lawyers-victims-kin/https://www.splcenter.org/resources/reports/kehoe-gang-timeline/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSSIzIvBhLwhttps://www.wnewsj.com/2022/02/21/brothers-troubles-americas-issues-didnt-begin-or-end-here/https://www.justice.gov/archive/usao/are/news/2008/August/Kehoe_opinion.pdfhttps://apnews.com/general-news-b1bc1dc9b483498f889735d1189851f3https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Lewis_Leehttps://www.oklahoman.com/story/news/1990/08/02/accident-at-party-suspected-in-slaying-of-city-man/62557183007/https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/76840757/joseph_john_wavrahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIBpPbGAAM
